Frontline Professional Growth Reviews

I like that Frontline now extends its program into absence management, as well as tracking professional development programming. As a teacher, it is wonderful to schedule an absence when needed, efficiently and immediately. Similarly, it is really helpful to participate in online classes, signing up, tracking progress, and adjusting my enrollment from one easy to use site.

I dislike that it can sometimes be specific to the district itself. When using usernames and passwords specific to your district, you must be sure to log in from your district-specific site. Otherwise, you may be faced with a frustrating "incorrect username/password" message.

All district employees can monitor and enhance their professional development through this site. As I teach workshops, other teachers can rate my workshops, provide immediate feedback, and be given credit for their participation in minutes. It's so easy.

Log in, choose your job, log out. Easy! Everything is right there to help you decide if the job is for you. Job type, school, location, phone, map link, link to teacher notes, day/date/time of shift and total hours to be paid and length of break.

Waiting for jobs to post....waiting. Sometimes the jobs just don’t post. People aren’t sick, don’t take vacation etc. and there aren’t many positions available so you have to watch more closely for an opening.

I’m amazed at this product as a user.

Absenteeism at schools for teachers. No more missing teachers.

I love that Frontline is a one stop platform to house all my professional growth content. I am able to seek growth approval, see what areas I need to complete and what development opportunities are available.

Takes a little fiddling to find where all content areas are stored (a lot of tab within tab clicking) though once you figure it all out it is easy to use.

It is easy to use, once you find your way around the site.

I love that all my hours completed and up and coming areas of growth are stored in one platform. I can see when i'm up for evaluation.

That it has all your PD certs in one place and puts the catalog there too.

Nothing. It is a good product that replaces many files and papers all at once

I would ay in order to save papers and files- go for it!

I’ve realized the benefit of having an all in one place PD program includes annual reviews. Benefits of saving paper

I really enjoy the preferred subs list you can use.

I wish there was an easier way to trace ALL of your previous absences and even sort them by school business, sickness, ect.

I would make sure you have a set of preferred subs and add them to your list immediately.

This software leaves a "paper trail" for sub days.

We've just moved to Frontline. It seems a lot easier to navigate than previous tools. It is easy to toggle between evaluation and substitute pages.

The font is a bit small, but it's not really a significant issue.

It's remarkably easy to learn. Almost no training was needed to be up and running.

We use it to organize documents and communication regarding evaluation of employees.

I like that it is customizeable. We have customized our data input sections, feedback forms and form library to meet the needs of our school district.

I feel a little overwhelmed by some of the components of the program.

We use Frontline to keep track of teacher and paraprofessional hours in order to make the state recertification process easy.

Frontline now both does absence management, as well as tracking professional development programming.

There's really not much to dislike here, except that my school district doesn't use all it's functionality.

It's centralized a very uncomfortable set of procedures and made them easy.

Helpful Data Tracking for PD. Easy to store completed hours over multiple years.

Searching the catalog isn't as easy as it could be. More filters would bexpect appropriate.

Try it out!

It was difficult to log & track PD opportunities. This makes it simple.

I like how easy this is to use and manage, it hows been a very seamless transition to using this product!

So far there is nothing that I have found to be a problem with this product.

We were able to share the evaluation process more easily and keep track of it which was nice to have to look back on and reflect on growth.

All the documents for the year are all in one place

It's confusing to tell which forms are which, what needs to be done and what doesn't.

It's used to fill out forms throughout the school year.

Frontline has a great dashboard that is easy to use is.

There is a limited amount time to give feedback.

Frontline is used as a tool for finding substitutes.
